Singer reacts to The Righteous Brothers - Unchained Melody

1965.One take, live, no autotune, no filtered enhancements; just pure, raw talent and discipline. Bravo, Bobby!

[@dongriggs8426]

You asked how many times it took to get this perfect take and as others here have mentioned it only took one take because what you heard and saw was the LIVE version of this song which Bobby sung on The Andy Williams TV Show. The studio version was different and didn't have the great ending that this live version had. The studio version was done in two takes. The fact that Bobby simply grabbed the microphone and gave this masterful performance in one try shows how truly gifted he was.

[@cecil5152]

I assume when he did do his rehearsal it was before the show started and before anyone from the audience was there and probably rehearsals was for the stage crew as well so they would know where to place their cameras. Maybe rehearsal was a couple or few hours before the actual event. Either way, I am really impressed

[@LisaGrandLand]

Yes, I was referring to when they recorded it in the studio. To get that version of the song that has so many iconic moments that people can sing along too. Naturally he sang an embellished, more improvised version for the live performance though. He's definitely a very gifted singer

[@dongriggs8426]

Yes he was a very gifted singer and I grew up just ten miles from where Bobby did. The Righteous Brothers also did another live performance of a well known song called "Never Walk Alone" on the Ed Sullivan show and at the end of that song Bobby hit a note so high that Bill's head involuntarily jerked away as if it hurt his ears. You of course don't have to do a reaction to the song if you don't want to but as a singer yourself you may want to go ahead and view that performance to further appreciate Bobby's talent.@@LisaGrandLand

[@Mr54nomore]

You can do all the rehearsals you want...But you still have to perform it live. Rehearsals does not always guaranteed a great performance. The great ones like Bobby Hatfield can call on their talent always...rehearsals are not.

[@cbrend22]

@@Mr54nomore correct, and that’s not really the issue. When today’s artists record in the studio, not only do they use auto tune, but they record it hundreds of times and pick and choose from all the tape enough to patch together a reasonable version. You can practice all you want, but being able to deliver the entire song perfectly, and not exactly like any other rendition at that, is a very rate talent. Doing it with such an amazing voice is rarer still.

[@jamesrose9114]

You got most of the true information about this song and about Bobby. The cool thing about the live performance was the fact there were no "redo's". It was "one and done". One thing I don't see mentioned was the fact his mother was in the audience. This, combined with the fact Bobby had stage fright, really added to the performance. He wanted it to be perfect for his Mother. He nailed it. And as has been said, he hit that G4 (G5-?) note at the end, with ease. The studio release version was at a lower octave. This song is 56yrs old at the time of your review. It has and will withstand the test of time forever. Why? Because, "Class Never Goes Out Of Style". Let's see if Cardi B's "WAP" is still around 50yrs from now!

[@maryannc6313]

Bill Medley, the other Brother, produced the studio version of this. He has said Bobby got it in one take, but then said he "heard" something and wanted to do it again. So the studio version was done in 2 takes with Bobby adding whatever it was he "heard.". This is a live performance on The Andy Williams Show. One take. IMO, and many agree, though the studio version is fantastic, this live performance is superior.

[@crankyyankee7290]

I would guess there was a bit of pressure on him due to the status and talent of the shows host-here is a song I have loved since that time, in high school the band leader was a huge fan of the composer Henry Mancini, so we heard his work often...kzbin.info/www/bejne/gpDNmHybr9SmjKM

I loved your reaction to The Righteous Brothers song Unchained Melody. First of all I've got to say that your lovely face and smile hooked me right away the your voice made me fall in love not in a scary way. I was fourteen when this song came out and I was blown away also. I couldn't play it on my record player along with all their other songs. But to watch you smile all the way through the song and let out some precious giggles along the way was just touching. Your explanation of what was going on during his performance delightful and informative. It gave me a better appreciation for the skill it took to do what he did. In the way of a side note, I heard that how they got their name was that while performing at a club where service men who were station at a nearby military base someone said " Wow, that's righteous brother" they heard it and they became The Righteous Brothers. Thank you for giving them some love and for being such a sweetie pie!

[@dstorm7752]

When this song came out, thousands of American boys were 10,000 miles from home in VIetnam. They were wondering if their girl would wait for them, and of course that seldom happened. With that context, you can understand the popularity of this song in Southeast Asia.

[@boosuedon]

If you listen very closely you can hear that Bobby was suffering from a head cold during this performance but went ahead with it anyway as "THE SHOW MUST GO ON!" Also, his mother was present in the audience which explains the little smile at the end of the performance.

[@michaeldavis4746]

Thank you for making this video and for your reaction! I'm 70 and grew up in those times. It's an amazing rendition as sung by Bobby who we all miss very much. Compared to the electronics, synthesizers, and far better audio of today, he has done this perfectly with all the old fashioned gear from back then. He could actually hit three octives with ease. I read that Bobby's rendition was voted the #1 song of the twentieth century in the USA. Even to this day when us older folks go to partys this song is played at least twice. The second time as a closing song as the party nears its end. The women literally grab you and pull you up to the dance floor for a slow dance. Thank you again! Cheers!

Or... William Stirrat, aka Hy Zaret, was 16 when he wrote lyrics about Mary Louise "Cookie" Pierce... He was 16 years old and infatuated with "the prettiest girl in my neighborhood." He remembers well the frustration of being too shy to act on his feelings - the stuttered response when she spoke to him, the frozen reaction when she smiled at him. "Now, I think she was in love with me, too, but I was too shy to do anything or even talk to her," Stirrat says 67 years later.... Stirrat wrote the words to "Unchained Melody" in 1936 when he was on a summer scholarship at Yaddo’s Triuna Arts of the Theatre School... www.dansher.com/unchained/unchained.html
